Have you ever made an error that cost your company a significant amount of money?

Mistakes happen on the job, and sometimes they can be costly to a company, whether that cost is financial or time-related. What the interviewer wants to know is that you own up to any errors that you may make in the workplace. It's essential to show the hiring manager that you take accountability for your actions.

Think of a time when you made an error in the workplace. Discuss the situation, the steps that you chose to overcome the issue, and then the resolution.

If you have never made a costly mistake in the workplace: Rather than staying that you do not make mistakes, you can discuss a minor issue. Or, give a hypothetical example and explain how you would react if you found yourself in that situation.
